“The FBI is telling the remaining occupiers of an Oregon federal wildlife to leave the area after its leaders were arrested in a shootout with police.

Federal and local officials announced early Wednesday morning that Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, who has served as a spokesman for the group, was killed Tuesday night by police during a traffic stop that turned violent about 50 miles from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Law enforcement officials did not released Finicum’s name initially. He had stated previously that he’d prefer to die than be arrested, according to The Oregonian.

Six others, including self-styled militia leader Ammon Bundy and his brother Ryan Bundy, both sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, were arrested, and Ryan Bundy was also shot. Two others were arrested elsewhere.”
